In reply to: Lilly 's message, "Cult Alert" on Fri, Aug 31 2012, 13:10:41

So the topic of the post was, "I'd like to speak to those who have lost it all and got it back"

So I posted my story, in a very condensed format. I didn't tell you what I have been through, what my trials were. I don't really care to bore everyone here with that information. What I did was simply state that I put a lot of work into getting myself better, the board recognized this and allowed me to go back to work in a job I love doing.

Nowhere in my post did I try to come off as elitist, a 12-stepper (which I am anything but) or anything else that resembles someone that is anything but very grateful for being given the opportunity to get my life back on track.

When I said you get what you put into it, I was just trying to encourage those who are beginning their journey through recovery. I have been coming to this site off/on for the past 2 1/2 years, and I have read some pretty discouraging things on here. Mostly negative. I have never taken the time to write on here until I read this post, which was asking for something positive. That is what I tried to contribute, and you Lily have somehow turned what I thought was a positive message into a very hateful one.

All I wanted to say was, yes you can get it back, look at me. I lost it all, and I got it all back. That's all, nothing more, nothing less.
